In attendance: Astrid, Gloria, Gregory, Jackie, Jeff, Nelson and Santiago
For the educational portion of the session, the group watched the
2010 Brazilian film Nosso Lar (Our Home) based
on the 1944 book by Chico Xavier.
Spirit 1 (via Nelson): Nelson asked Astrid how she was
feeling in regards to her mother. She shared that she often felt low and
stressed, as her weekly interactions with her mother and other patients in the
hospital drained her energy. Nelson cautioned Astrid to be careful and to be
prepared for some unpleasant spirits. Jackie saw a group of spirits in the
hospital room, and she said they were determined to keep Astrid's mother in the
same misery that she was in now. These spirits were holding her back. Nelson
encouraged Astrid to liberate her mother from these spirits. Astrid said that
she been trying to do this, and Gloria added, "The more Astrid wants it, the
more they want to stop it." Gregory understood that both Astrid and her mother
were suffering, and this ordeal has been a trial for both of them. Gloria
added, "There is an end to everything." An angry spirit passed into Nelson from
the group in the hospital room:
Spirit: Do not attempt to remove me from that room. It's where I
belong.
Gregory: We need to break those chains.
Gregory saw the situation as Astrid, her mother and these spirits all
connected to each other by heavy chains that were very difficult to break
apart. Gloria began to read a prayer for the obsessed spirit, and Astrid moved
behind Nelson to offer passes in an attempt to calm this presence. The
spirit did not want to forgive, and he was reluctant to leave. Even after he
said goodbye to our table, he was still around, until the good spirits forcibly
removed him while he screamed not to be taken away. "It's time to put a stop to it,"
Nelson said.
Spirit 2 (via Nelson and Gloria): Nelson felt the energy
of a female spirit that usually sat through Astrid. She was showing him an item
similar to a music box with a key. She removed the key and closed the box,
indicating that the same should be done with Astrid and her Mom. Both Nelson
and Gloria saw Astrid leading a very productive life. This spirit spoke through
Nelson, saying, "This has to end today, it's like a term you say - closing a
chapter in a book. We need you to continue what you started." Nelson saw the
spirit as a very proper lady, refined and well dressed, and he realized that she
had a dual purpose. Her arrival was a way to cleanse Nelson after the negative
energy of the previous spirit, and she also believed that her message for Astrid
would have more impact if she delivered it through Nelson. She told the group
that the room was filled with all types of spirits. Some have arrived to learn,
others wanted to help, and many of them were just like our group - growing from
the knowledge and experiences shared at the table.
Spirit 3 (via Nelson): Nelson sensed a spirit that
encouraged Gregory not to stop doing what he has been doing. This spirit hoped
that he will continue to say what he sees. Gregory was also warned that he
would be walking into a place and feeling that he should not be there. If he
felt uncomfortable, he should just leave. "Trust your instincts", the spirit
advised, "and trust in yourself."
Nelson wondered if Jackie had received a phone call from her sister (she
had not). Jackie was scheduled for some medical tests in the future, and Nelson
offered her the opportunity to bring the topic to our table as the dates
approached.
Spirit 4 (via Gloria): The spirit of a family member was
around Santiago, promising him that he was "never alone". When he needed strength for himself or Astrid, all he had to do was ask, and it would be given to
him.
Jackie closed with a prayer.
